I'm in possession of a Hawkeye diagnostic tool with tdci software installed, i'm helping a friend fix his td5 disco and the aid diagnostic tool would be extremely useful. Is it still possible to purchase hawkeye codes in 2023? or did that all go down with bearmach? Cheers.

I have a bad feeling that all support for the hawkeyes went down the ****ter with bearmach Still there might be a market for hawkeye trading?

I think you are out of luck fellas since Bearmach is kaput.
Hopefully some 8-year old YouTube computer wiz kid from Calcutta can hack the Hawkeye software/firmware to allow it to be open source.
Until then we can only wait.

I suspected as much, would have been nice of Bearmach to make the software available to everybody since those devices aren't cheap and the software is already on the devices just needs unlocking by code! oh well

The hawkeye was designed and made by omitec. Supplied through bearmach. Omitec were bought out over 10 years ago. After that support dropped but you could still get codes. Too many competeing devices on the market and the firmware was copied for use in other units. So development stopped. It was omitec who supplied the codes. Codes no longer available. The hawkeye pro and total should be unlocked for all vehicles if you can find one.
